The Four Georges by William Makepeace Thackeray

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. No Date. Dolphin Books.

The four portly English monarchs - their respective majesties Georges I, II, III, and IV - had a special fascination for Thackeray. He saterized them in verse in Punch and he lectured in both America and the British Isles on their lives and times. They remain a delightful view of history, a lively and llluminating mixture of scholarship, farce, and nostalgia.
